Tonight could be the night.

In less than 12 hours the San Francisco Giants could be World Series champions for the second time in three years. The last time it happened, it didn’t take long for the bars to empty, filling the Mission’s streets with people celebrating in all kinds of ways.

It’s said that those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. So let’s take a look at what happened in 2010, when the Giants last brought home the Commissioner’s  Trophy. Surely there are lessons to be learned — namely, be safe out there, Missionites.
